TOiNX Launches TOiNX-SOC, an Integrated Security Monitoring Service Focused on Prevention

TOiNX Co., Ltd. (Head office: Aoba-ku, Sendai, Miyagi Prefecture; President: Shin Kawata) has launched TOiNX-SOC, officially named “TOiNX-SOC - Integrated Security Monitoring Specialized in Prevention,” to help companies strengthen their cybersecurity. The service flexibly designs and builds security monitoring based on each customer’s IT environment and needs, while providing services focused on preventing cyberattacks before damage occurs. Drawing on its experience handling highly demanding IT operations for the Tohoku Electric Power corporate group, TOiNX will support cybersecurity enhancement for customers across industries. Key features include 24/7/365 monitoring by specialized staff responsible for the cybersecurity of the Tohoku Electric Power corporate group. These experts have protected the security of a group operating critical infrastructure where cyberattacks cannot be tolerated, and will monitor customer IT environments around the clock. TOiNX-SOC also provides vulnerability analysis and detection of cyberattack preparation activities. Since vulnerabilities are frequently used as intrusion routes, the service analyzes and reports on customers’ IT assets to help reduce risk. In addition to monitoring EDR, IPS, and related tools, TOiNX can also build and monitor mechanisms that detect preparatory actions such as intrusion and reconnaissance before ransomware and other attacks cause damage. This enables countermeasures before an attack is successfully executed. The service can also provide monthly reporting meetings. Beyond reporting, TOiNX supports continuous security improvement by listening to customer needs through dialogue and proposing improvements. Cyberattack damage against companies in Japan has become increasingly severe in recent years. Ransomware in particular can halt business operations and cause prolonged impact, resulting in serious damage even to large enterprises. It has ranked first in IPA’s “Top 10 Information Security Threats” every year since 2021. Because these attacks often complete preparatory steps before execution to make recovery more difficult, prevention has become increasingly important. To address this social challenge, TOiNX has released TOiNX-SOC, a service specializing in cyberattack prevention, based on the know-how it has developed through IT security operations for the Tohoku Electric Power corporate group. Expected benefits include early incident detection and immediate response through 24/7/365 security monitoring; rapid and accurate vulnerability handling and reduced intrusion risk through vulnerability analysis; prevention-oriented response through detection of cyberattack preparation activities; reduced risk of intrusion into internal IT environments by blocking unauthorized access via the internet; and continuous reflection of customer needs and the latest security trends through improvement proposals at reporting meetings. Through this service, TOiNX will support customers’ cybersecurity initiatives and contribute to preventing cyberattacks across a wide range of industries.
